Decision to Replace Mail Management Application
In 2023, Swiss Post decides to replace its mail management application.
Development of Custom Application
Swiss Post actively participates in the Advanced Users workshops, contributing to discussions on CDS and IPS upgrade requests.
Developments were necessary to interface IPS with the operational and financial management software of Swiss Post. IPS was deployed on Swiss Post's servers and then migrated to the UPU cloud to reduce maintenance costs.
The main objective was to modernize the accounting system of Swiss Post by replacing the old system with IPS, ensuring effective integration with operational and financial systems.
Swiss Post chose to develop its own application for mail management instead of replacing IPS. However, this application will be interfaced with IPS via APIs to provide standard functionalities without requiring additional developments by Swiss Post.
The decision to develop an in-house application while maintaining an interface with IPS via APIs allows Swiss Post to customize its application while benefiting from the standard features of IPS.
IPS has been integrated into the operational and financial systems of Swiss Post, ensuring efficient synchronization of postal operations. The interface with the new application developed by Swiss Post will also be facilitated through APIs.
Data management has been optimized with the deployment of IPS on Swiss Post's servers, and the migration to the UPU cloud has reduced costs while ensuring effective data management.
